When you think of a Disney vacation, you may hear people say, "You'll need a vacation, AFTER your vacation...." It doesn't have to be that way! How? Lets talk about staying Club Level at a Disney Resort.
Newsflash, you don't HAVE to do a park every single day, or open to close. You CAN do Disney in a relaxing, no-stress, and enjoyable way. How? Staying Club Level at a Disney Resort!
Disney's Deluxe Resorts, as well as the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort offer Club Level rooms with access to the lounge. In the lounge, you'll find complimentary breakfast daily, afternoon snacks, evening appetizers, desserts, beverages, (both alcoholic and non alcoholic offerings), and a dedicated concierge staff.
Imagine for a moment - you wake up in the morning before everyone else, and go have a coffee while taking in the views. (Many of the concierge lounges have great views!) You can even bring breakfast to the room for your family! No lines, no mobile order. Everyone is fed and ready to hit the parks!
Don't forget to grab a snack on your way out, and a beverage to go!
When you come back to the resort in the afternoon for a break, grab another snack and beverage. You can even take it to the pool!
If you have a later dining reservation for dinner, enjoy the hot appetizers beforehand. Or if your kids go to bed early, go enjoy a drink and dessert from the lounge and perhaps you'll even see some fireworks!
Disney's theme parks are amazing, we all know this! But the resorts are pretty amazing too, and way more than a simple place to sleep! The resort you choose should be just as important as which Lightning Lanes you choose, or which dining reservations to get!
The next time you think about a Disney vacation, think about trying a Club Level room at a Deluxe Resort, and I promise, you won't be disappointed!

There are a few misconceptions about travel agents out there. I just want to take a minute to clear one of those up. Please hang in there with me, as this may get long... 😊
Myth: You should go to a travel agent because they can get you a "better deal."
This is probably the biggest misconception out there. The reason you go to a travel agent is not to get a discount. You go to a travel agent because they know a particular destination. They have training. They have insight. They have experience. They have an emotional tie to your vacation.
Are we going to look for discounts for you? Yes, constantly! Even after you've booked I watch for discounts to see if I can save you a few extra bucks. Discounts are fun and they are a great perk, and a large part of what I do for you... but it's not the 'main thing' or the 'most important thing', not even close.
You have a choice when you book your vacation:
1. Book on your own with an online booking engine or call center who sees you as a number they can add to their sales and nothing more. You hang up with them and never ever speak to the same person twice.
2. Book with a vacation specialist with years of experience with the destination you're looking at. They also know your family. They know your daughter has a severe nut allergy. They know your son swims like a fish and wants the coolest pool available. They know you have a special wedding anniversary coming up, so they call and make sure it's noted, and that every 'T' is crossed and 'I' is dotted. They know you have an itty bitty one coming with you so you need something super convenient to dining and transportation. All of this with NO EXTRA COST to you.
Which one would you choose?
When you come to me, I may not give you the bottom of the barrel pricing, initially. But, I am most definitely going to take your price point into consideration. And if I can put you in, or recommend to put you in, a higher resort/room category within that price point, that's what I'm going to do. Why? Because there's value in that higher resort/room category. I want your experience to be the very best it can be. I want you to come home talking about how amazing your trip was and how perfect your room location was, or how amazing that dinner was... how their faces lit up... etc.
I am here to first, and foremost ~ help to give you the best EXPERIENCE. Disney is not a discount-destination and Travel Agents are not discount-brokers. I'm selling you my service AND magical experience. I want you to come back to me again and again. I want to watch your kids grow up in your vacation photos. I want to send you away for your 40th wedding anniversary after the kids have moved out of the house and have families of their own. Let's make your moments count!!

Meet my repeat client, the “Y Family”! I helped them plan their third annual Disney World trip for last month. Watching these adorable little girls grow thru their trips has been so fun! I can’t wait to help them plan their next trip!

This is what Amanda had to say… “Crystal helped book our awesome room at Pop Century with a view of the pool and helped us get our transportation booked with MEARS which was so easy and affordable. We had so much fun! Our favorite park was Magic Kingdom and our girls loved Seven Dwarfs! Slinky Dog at Hollywood Studios was another favorite. Our favorite character meal was at Topolino’s Terrace! The food was delicious. Highly recommend. We can’t wait to return! Always a great time 🥰”

Meet the “D Family”! They just went on their first Disney trip and I was honored to help them plan! Here’s a little write up from Alisa!

This was our first family trip to Disney. We went to Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot. Some of our favorite things were the character breakfast at Ohana, meeting Elsa and Anna, Festival of the Lion King, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Disney really is the most magical place on earth! Crystal was so helpful. Her suggestions and knowledge helped us get the most out of our Disney experience. 10/10 would recommend her for all your vacation needs!

Happy National Plan For Vacation Day! It’s the perfect excuse to finally book that vacation you’ve been dreaming about—because let’s face it, you deserve it!

Today is the day to ditch the "maybe someday" attitude and commit to some much-needed relaxation or adventure. Whether it's lounging on the beach at a Sandals Resort in St. Lucia, hiking the hills of Hawaii, or escaping to a cozy Copper Creek Cabin at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, taking a vacation is like hitting the reset button on life.

Trust us, your to-do list will still be there when you get back—but you'll be recharged and ready to tackle it with a fresh perspective (and maybe even a tan).

So, what are you waiting for? Your future self will thank you... especially when you’re sipping a margarita with your feet up, knowing that your emails can wait.

At Aulani Resort, time has its own special way of moving. Here, the calm of Hawaiʻi meets the fun of Disney, creating something we call “Aulani Time.” 🌺 It’s where island tranquility inspires moments to slow down, while the special magic of Disney fills your day with wondrous fun you and your family never want to see end.

For a moment, time seems to stand still during KA WA‘A, A Lū‘au as you all realize dad has the best hula moves. You feel the magic of the moment as you dine together at ʻAMAʻAMA and find that dessert pairs perfectly with the sun setting over the ocean. 🌊 Your heart grows happier as the kids tell you all about their adventures at Aunty’s Beach House. And in an instant, you feel a deeper connection taking shape as you all meet under the stars for fireside Mo‘olelo storytelling. 🥰 Whether you seek relaxation, adventure or simply the joy of being present with your ʻohana, AULANI Resort welcomes you to embrace it all—because the joy of togetherness is truly your most treasured souvenir. That’s time well spent. That’s Aulani Time.
Get away this spring and save up to 25% on select rooms at AULANI, A Disney Resort & Spa for stays of 5 or more nights, or 20% for stays of 4 nights, for most nights from 4/11/25 through 6/11/25.*
